Moving deeper into 2012, the long-awaited superhero extravaganza flick, Marvel's The Avengers, is only two months away. And with major conventions nearing kickoff, promotion for the Joss Whedon-directed film, among others, is almost guaranteed. with that said, India is kicking off their 2nd annual Comic Convention this weekend in Dilli Haat, New Delhi. And snagging Marvel and Disney as associate sponsors, check out what's being offered.
Although fortunate for any Indian CBM fanboys, the rest of us have images and reports back from the convention over the weekend to look forward to. And also, while previous reports suggested that 'Iron Man' actor Robert Downey Jr. had no solid plans to visit India for
The Avengers, it's possible the "special character appearance of Iron Man" mentioned above could mean just
that. What do you think?
Also, pre-screenings for
The Avengers have knowingly been held this past month with the very few reactions, so far, positive. And now
another has shown itself from a "male, 30-something, professional," stating:
"That movie was T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E.. And by T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E. I mean Terrific, Electrifying, Radical, Really Incredible, Beautifully done, Looooooooove, [and] Extrasuperduperamazinglyawesome."
"Freaking. Loved. Every second of it. I sat on the edge of my seat the entire time. Like a kid. I'm probably going to see it at least 45 times in the theater. Ok, maybe only 30 times. But a lot."
